A spokesman for the group, Shahidullah Shahid, said Monday's assault was "a message to the Pakistan government that we are still alive to react over the killings of innocent people in bomb attacks on their villages".

Wait, bombing people and blowing up their houses and kids pisses people off? Maybe we should stop doing that when there's no clear objective! Somebody tell Obama!

Turn a blind eye to people using your country as cover to commit crimes long enough because you don't like their victims and sooner or later you'll discover yourself their next target. By the time that happens they have honed their skills and you've got a problem on your hands. The amazing thing is that people who condoned some terrorism are surprised that those same people commit terrorism against someone not on their personal okay to terrorize list.

tbaughm:Don't Troll Me Bro!: drxym: You have to wonder why Pakistan can't stamp some form of authority on these nutbars. Not a week goes by without some act of savagery being committed in that country.

You say that as if acts of savagery

don't happen here all the time.

When it happens overseas, it's an act of terrorism. When it happens on US soil, it's someone exercising his or her Second Amendment right.

The US and A is hard to compare with Pakistan. The US controls its entire area, even West Virginia. A sizable chunck of Pakistan is pretty effing lawless, and not really controlled by the Pakistani government. It's the NW section of the country known as the Federally Administrated Tribal Area (FATA),

The best way to explain the FATA is this: Imagine if the entire mountainous region of the Midwest was a giant Indian reservation inhabited by heavily armed Amish John Birchers.

FullMetalPanda:I heard Bergdahl actually masterminded this under orders from President Obama

I heard Obama is willing to negotiate peace deals and prisoner exchanges with people that throw acid on little girls' faces for daring to go to school, but can't even negotiate a budget with people that expect women to pay for their own birth control.

/read into that whatever you want//there is a war on women, but the side that's defending womens' rights may not be the side you think is doing so///one side wants equal opportunity, the other supports blatant misogyny if they can't have perfect statistically equal results

There is no way at all that allowing a region, known for its fanatical devotion to archaic and, by any western-enlightened standards, barbaric and cruel religious and social requirements, to have great and nearly-separate authority over its populace will not come back and bite the host country, either through external responses from countries who are sick of being attacked by such backwards murderous farks or by internal attacks from those same backwards murderous farks against anything in the host country that doesn't fit their backwards, archaic standards.

This is an understandable mix up when you don't know the difference between terrorism and mass murder, lets use Sandy Hook for example since we are trolling with the gun theme. Who am I kidding you don't even know there IS a difference let alone what it is, and I sure as shiat you don't know what the difference between the Pakistan Taliban, Afghan Taliban, Haqqani Network, and Al-Qaeda is let alone how those groups differ regarding terrorism and a mass murder like Sandy Hook. I would be farking shocked if you could tell me who US SECDEF is, let alone an intelligent comment pertaining to the aforementioned terrorist groups, without Google. Alas, there is no way of proving you did or did not Google the answer, I just wanted to express how much of an imbecilic I think you are.

Especialy when that someone is infact themselves. I wonder how many of the people killed in this attack were supporters of the taliban.

The dominant feature of the midwest is its absence of mountains.

What term should I use for Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana?

If you lump in Utah and Idaho, you could call them the Rockies

/People in those states consider themselves part of the West//They're wrong

Sounds like the correlary of the "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a Socialist." poem.

Extremist movements tend to become more extremist over time, and eventually start killing their erstwhile allies if those allies are deemed to be of insufficient ideological purity. There are historical examples going back at least as far as the French Revolution.

That's not really what's going on. Pakistan isn't turning a blind eye to terrorism, rather the terrorism is coming from an internal faction. That faction wants these attacks because they want to take over the country. They are deeply enough rooted that it would be hard to remove them.
